One of my favourite apocryphal tales of the Holy Grail is the one invented by Tom Holt for his novel Grailblazers, which tells of what happened after Martha cornered Jesus and his posse as they were leaving the Last Supper and told them they weren't going anywhere until they'd lent a hand with the washing up.
More seriously, *did* Jesus want dinner? I mean, did Martha even ask him before she got launched? Maybe he'd just dropped in for a chat, and was annoyed that Martha wouldn't keep still long enough for a proper conversation.
